Questions Pt 2

Second Version of David's Pov:

When this time's version of me said it was our turn to ask them questions, no one immediately got up and asked something like the first version of Emma did. First version of Emma. First versions of everybody. Second, thrid and fourth versions of everybody. Time travel. Ah... I can tell this probably won't end well.

As if life wasn't hard enough. Dealing with pregnant wives, wicked witches, town just getting their memories back, a grandson getting his memories back, a witch being after my child (again), The Wicked Witch having The Evil Queen's heart, The Wicked Witch holding The Dark One in captivity, and more problems. Including pirates having feelings for my daughter. On a scale of one to ten, Hook having feelings for Emma isn't a ten. Probably doesn't even rank on the scale. However I'm still not ok with it, or at least I'll pretend I'm not. Sadly there's nothing wrong with Hook.

"Come on, don't be shy. Does anyone have a question?" this time's Regina asked. Seems like everyone's getting agitated by none of us asking anything. Everyone waited for one of us to ask something but no one did, though Emma seems like she wants to. Regina must have got annoyed at how long we were taking so she ended shouting at us, "Oh, come on! Someone just ask something already!". Everybody jumped when she yelled. No one seemed to want to ask anything after she yelled but a quiet voice just said "I want to hear the answer from my future self". When I turned to look at who spoke I saw Emma; with her arms cross, her head looking at the ground.

She's gotta be upset about something. But what's she upset about? "What do you wanna know?" this time's Emma asked. My time's Emma just took a deep breath and said "Hook. Is he working for Zelena? Did he actually get a message from David and Mary Margaret? Or was he lying about the whole thing?". As soon as she asked that, I knew why she was upset. Hook was practically one of her only friends (I think), she'd hate it if he ended up lying to her. But these questions Emma asked I already had the answer to. Hook cares about Emma too much to hurt or lie to her. I didn't send him any messages but he must have got one from somebody, and if he was working for Zelena it wouldn't have been willingly.

My time's Hook just sighed, "You still don't believe me. What happened to trusting me?". He looked so upset that Emma didn't seem to trust him. "I'm telling you the truth Swan! I got a message from your parents, and I'm not working for the bloody Wicked Witch!" he shouted at her. Emma didn't respond to him at all, she just kept her arms crossed and her head down. After a few seconds she said "I do trust you, but I've gotta make sure. You know what happened the last time I trusted somebody. I'm sorry". When she didn't move after a few minutes Hook just sighed and turned back to face our future selves.

This time's Emma looked at my time's Hook with a sympathetic look. Seems I was right, Hook isn't working against us. Future Emma looks at my Emma and says "No. He's not.", with a small smile on her face. My time's Emma looks so relieved when she heard that, I think it's the happiest I've seen Emma in a long time. I look around at all the other future versions of Emma and I notice something... she's happy. Or less stressed. Or maybe knows how to handle problems even better in the future, but all I know is that the future versions of Emma, despite the situation, seem at ease. It could be because they've done this before and know how to handle it (because it seems like they know how to handle time travel) or it could be because Emma's finally happy.

The third version of her has dark circles around her eyes, seems exhausted and conflicted between something - not a decision, just something she has no control over - but overall when I look at her she seems happier then my Emma. Just by looking at her I can tell she has smiled a lot more lately. The fourth version of Emma seems rather drawn back, shocked or scared or both - she looks like she's been through hell - but again, she's happier. I can tell shes been smiling, not as much as the third version of her but still more than my version of Emma. I don't know what has made Emma happier in the future but I'm really glad she has something that makes her feel so joyful.

When this version of Emma continues speaking it takes me a few seconds to remember what she's talking about. Hook. Zelena. Is Hook or our side or not. I look at my version of Emma and see she's paying a hundred percent of her attention to her future self so she can see if Hook is still trustworthy, which she is obviously hoping he is. If she's trying not to show it, she's failing. "Hook did get a message, which did say it was from Mary Margaret and David but was actually from N-" present Emma cuts herself off. Neal. He sent the message to Hook. Emma can't mention him because of the first version of herself but to everyone in my time and future times it certainly clear.

Emma decides to continue on anyway, trying to avoid mentioning Neal. "It was from a your recently deceased friend. He sent it signed by you two because he knew Hook would think from anyone eles it would be a trick but from you's, who would want to get back back so much, Hook wouldn't brush it off as a trick.", Emma says. I've gotta say, that was ingenious. Knowing how to get Hook to go find Emma, but then again spending time with Hook when you were a child would mean you know what you've gotta do to make him do something.

"The whole working with The Wicked Witch thing was, well. Hook was forced into that. Zelena pretended to be Ariel, then cursed Hook and said if he didn't do something to me she'd hurt my family and that if he told anybody she'd hurt my family, then threated him again after a while of him not doing anything, so then he tried to get Henry to safety which went wrong when the flying monkeys showed up and you know the rest. That's basically it, in short." Emma continued on. So Hook was threatened and yet tried to keep Emma with her magic and save her family whilst being threatened... He must care about Emma a lot to do all that for her.

We took a minute for that to set in when my time's Emma must've suddenly remembered something because she went completely rigid for a few moments and then she had a look on her face, one that looked like Christmas had come early. "Speaking of getting me, how did you? Come and get me. Am I allowed to know yet?" she asked, looking at every version of Hook except for the first one. My time's Hook just said, "Please tell me I don't have to tell her. Please tell me she doesn't know in the future". The fourth version of Emma answered him, "Well sorry to say I do know, you told me yourself, and I think you should tell that version of me". Hook just groaned. "I was hoping you'd never find out", he muttered to himself. Seems everyone heard him because the fifth version of Emma told him, "Really? You think I wouldn't notice she was gone? I was already questioning where she was then. You couldn't of hid it from me".

Hook just sighed and said, "I know". Everyone from my time just looks confused. She? A she was missing? I have no idea what Emma meant, neither did anyone eles from my time, but I did see Emma looking at Hook strangely. "Hook, what'd you do to find me?" she askes, still staring at him weirdly. Hook just sighed and said, "I was told there was a curse coming and I had to find you and get your memories back. So I ditched my crew and took The Jolly Rodger as fast and as far as I possibly could to outrun it-". Here he gets cut off by Emma asking "You outran a curse?" quite skeptically. All she gets in a 'I'm a hell of a captain' in return, but that makes Emma laugh a little for some reason. Maybe Hook and Emma are that close that they've had conversations on things like this.

Hook continues his story like she never interupted. "Once I was outside the curses purview I knew that the walls were down, transport between worlds was possible again, all I needed was a magic bean". "Those aren't easy to come by.", Emma says in a suspicious tone. Looking down Hook says, "Not if you've got something of value to trade". "And what was that?" Emma askes a bit breathless, a bit stunned actually. It seems no one in my time can work out what she's worked out, though the first version of Hook looks like he has an idea. Then suddenly Hook looks up with a smile that says 'Everything is great' but doesn't really fool anyone and says "Why The Jolly Rodger of course!". And everything goes dead silent.

My Emma is staring at Hook, not knowing what to say. I see the third, fourth and fifth versions of Emma smiling and muttering thanks to Hook, even though they would've all done it a thousand times already. Everyone eles in the third, fourth and fifth versions are quiet but not shocked. The first version of us are all straight up shocked, probably wondering why Hook would do something like that. Which is basically what our time is thinking. Not shocked that Hook would do it, it was for Emma of course he did it. But we all know how much that ship means to Hook, and he gave it away, without a thought, for a magic bean. For Emma. For my daughter.

"You traded your ship for me?" askes, once again, stunned and breathless. "Aye". Emma continues to stare at Hook for a about a minute before blinking her eyes rapidly and saying a shaky and breathless thank you. "No problem at all." is all Hook replys with. They continue staring at each other until the first version of Hook starts talking.

"Bloody hell, this is a lie. Why would I give up my ship? I would never give up my ship. Certainly not for someone who only likes to chain me up, betray me and hit me a lot." he says angrily. I, and most likely my past and future selves, don't even have time to think about hitting or yelling at Hook before the present versionn of Hook says in a low, dangerous and scary voice "Don't talk about Swan that way. If it weren't for her we'd be stuck in a mind of self hatred, despair and darkness. If it weren't for her we wouldn't have The Jolly Rodger back. Hell, if it weren't for her we'd be dead. So shut up, leave all versions of her alone and get used to the fact I made the chose to give up our ship".

Everybody is silent. It's moments like these when I know how good of a captain Hook was. He could sail a ship, navigate by the stars, keep his crew in order and probably a whole lot more. The silence lasted about a minute before it was broken by someone sniffing. It came from fourth and fifth versions of Emma; one looking like they were going to break down on the spot, the other looking just plain scared. For a few seconds everyone stared at the two of them until the fifth version of Emma cracked and ran out of the room crying with the fifth version of Hook following. The fourth and fifth versions of everybody watched them go with sad and sorry looks on their faces, whilst the rest of us stood there confused on what happened.

"What's Emma crying about?" my version of Hook askes. The fifth version of myself sighes and answers with, "That will come up later when we're telling our full stories after everyones questions". My time's version of Snow then askes if Emma will be alright, my present self replys that she will be. I hope she will be, I don't want my daughter upset. Her crying, her sobbing as she ran out of the room, is heartbroken. I never want to hear my little girl sound like that again.

"So we get The Jolly Rodger back?" askes the first Hook timidly. The third Hook answers this, "Aye". He must also be mad at his past self for insulting Emma since he's glaring at himself while he answers. "We get it back after a few weeks." he continues on, still glaring. The first version of Emma then says "I want to know something actually. I keep hearing Henry and me get our memories back, what's that all about?". Present time Regina sighs and tells Emma "Can't say everything about that just yet, Miss Swan, but it will be mentioned soon. All I can say is you and Henry forget your memories but then eventually get them back". Yes Regina, eventually get them back. No, don't think like that David. At least they have them and are with you.

Present time Snow then askes if we have anymore questions. I decide I'll say one as a joke but I am actually wondering about it. "I've got a question. When did Hook get a new wardrobe?" Almost everyone has a little laugh at the way I ask that then Hook says to me "I can't actually speak of why I got new clothes but I can say that Henry helped me out with acquiring them". "Oh so that's where you were able to get modern clothes. I wondered how you did that when Ruby wasn't there to help.", present time Emma says playfully to Hook.

After hearing his name Henry was excited for some reason. "Hey, Killian. Does that mean we hang out more?" my time's Henry askes present time Hook. Hook nods. "So does that mean you've gotten to give me sword fighting?" So that's why Henry's excited. Sword lessons from a pirate. The first version of myself speaks to my time's Henry and says, "Henry, I thought I was giving you sword fighting lessons". Henry looks at him for a few seconds then shrugs and says "In the future you're a bit busy gramps.", and I immediately feel guilty. I am busy, but too busy to hang out with my grandson? I start to realise a few things here; Henry seems to prefer Hook (already knew that), Hook will always make time for Henry (he's spent a lot of time with him, willingly), Hook will always protect Henry (he did against The Wicked Witch) and I only hung out with my grandson (when he didn't want to hang out with me) to prove I was as fun as Hook. Jeez, I feel like a horrible grandfather.

I'm brought out of my guilt when Hook laughs and replys to Henry, "Aye, mate. We've had a few lessons on sword fighting. You take after your mother. We've only used sticks so far but you're a natural, just like with sailing". And I swear on my life I've never seen Henry grin so wide. From the corner of the room I hear a soft voice filled with amusement say "What's going on here?". I turned to see the fourth versions of Emma and Hook are back now. Emma looks happier, she could be pretending but I'm hoping she is actually happy right now, and Hook just seems happy Emma's alright. I notice Emma's just observing Henry grinning madly with no clue why he so happy. So I say to Emma, "Henry's just happy with his future of sword fighting lessons". And Emma turns to look at Hook and says, voice filled with amusement, "Oh, yes. I know".

Hook must teach Henry a lot. Emma and Regina know about it, are alright with it and (with how excited Henry gets) probably hear about what Hook teaches him a lot after a lesson. I feel guilty about not helping my grandson when I promised him I would but I'm glad someone's there for him, even if it is the pirate. Snow then askes if there's any last questions. When no one answers she says that we'll move on to the next versions questions. The next version of us was one of the calm groups so I can't wait to hear their questions.

Author's Note: So sorry thatit's taken me so long to update but like I said when I started, it doesn't matter how long it takes me to, I will eventually update. Once again thanks to mckenzie96 for all the suggestions, like I said I'll work them into future chapters. If there were questions that you wanted this version to ask that I didn't put in, just give me the questions and I'll put them in later. Also, less than 3 weeks til OUAT is back, I can't wait. How 'bout you guys? If anyone has any suggestions just tell me, I love them. Review or whatever.
